Photography, writing, and organizing events are my ways of making sense of this world. These endeavors took me to many countries and unique cultures while allowing me to explore different creative processes. I hope to bring my unique perspective of these known and unknown places and people's destinies to your attention as I lived the intensity of traditions, history, and people's daily lives. I invite you to visit me here through my photographs of Guatemala, New York, Paris, Prague, Sri Lanka, and Hawaii.
